“As genuine fans of these classic DC characters, as well as the incredibly talented Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon, we couldn’t be more excited to make Epix the home of this series,” Michael Wright, president, Epix, said. “We can’t wait to work with Bruno and Danny – along with Peter Roth, Susan Rovner, Brett Paul and the team at Warner Horizon – on this fantastic origin story.”

News of the Epix series comes on the heels of Fox’s announcement it had renewed Heller’s”Gotham” for a fifth season — but it’ll be the last. This final run will wrap up the origin story of the DC Comics super-villains, studio Warner Bros. promised on Sunday.

“The final season will focus on Bruce Wayne’s transformation into the caped crusader,” Fox said in announcing its Season 5 news.

“Pennyworth” hails from Warner Horizon Scripted Television, with Heller writing and executive producing, and Danny Cannon set to take an EP credit and direct. The series is based on DC characters created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.
